My top 10 Heartless in Kingdom Hearts

The Heartless are easily the most iconic enemies in the entire Kingdom Hearts franchise having been in almost every game so far. And with even more brand new Heartless being introduced in Kingdom Hearts 3, as we saw from the trailers, I thought I'd look back at the previous games and pick out my favourite Heartless. A few things to note here. I'm not including Heartless bosses, just regular Heartless you'd fight all the time. And so, let's begin and I hope you all enjoy.
10. Rapid Thruster:

Starting us off at number 10 is the best Heartless to grind off of in Kingdom Hearts 2. This Heartless shows up in worlds only in Kingdom Hearts 2 and it's so good to grind off of if you want to fight a Heartless to level up fast. Especially if you go to the Pride Lands and go to the top of Pride Rock. After the second visit there, and if you go to the top of it, there will be an entire horde of them and you get to defeat them fast and level up fast too.
9. Defender:

This is one of Heartless from later on in Kingdom Hearts 1 when you go to Hollow Bastion. At first when you go there, you can't fight any Heartless because Riku has the Keyblade, but, when you do get it back, it's great to just destroy these guys and level up really fast, especially if you have a really powerful Keyblade. That's really useful if you're trying to level up faster in the first game.
8. Pirate:

This obvious pirate based Heartless is a Heartless that you fight in Neverland. Like another Heartless you're going to see further down the list, I really like this Heartless for being in the same weight class as you with having a sword and being able to defeat it and get a lot of experience for levelling up. It also looks super cool and is perfectly fitting the world of Neverland.
7. Surveillance Robot:

This is one of the more useful Heartless out there. This Heartless doesn't possess much strength, but, there is one thing bout it that's awesome. There's a reaction command call "Snag" where Sora grabs it and spins around with it firing it's lasers which destroys multiple enemies at once. This can really come in handy, especially during the 1000 Heartless fight in Hollow Bastion where it destroys dozens of them at once. Every time I do that, it is so awesome.
6. Soldier:

One of the earliest Heartless introduced in the first game, this more simpler Heartless is so easy to beat and I love it when there's a ton of them at once in the first game because it was easy to beat them and level up from them. It was also great in The End Of The World in Kingdom Hearts 1 for that reason too, it's so great to grind off of, but it also looks awesome and it's a bit of step up from the Shadows. Like a good continuation I guess.
5. Darkball:

This round flying Heartless actually sorta has a bit more to it than you might think. Yeah, it's another easy to defeat Heartless, but, it also sorta becomes a bit of a strong Heartless if there's more than one of them around, especially in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. But they're pretty fun too, even though they don't have much attacks. It's really just chomp with their mouths. But, it's really cool and it's fun to fight them.
4. Shadows:

At number 3 is the very first Heartless you ever see and the most iconic of them all, the Shadows. These really small Heartless don't serve as a threat, but they're pretty basic, especially in design with it just being a small black creature with limbs and yellow eyes. I think it was also cool to be one of these for a few seconds in Kingdom Hearts 1 when Sora turns into one to save Kairi.
3. Large Body:

This was the third Heartless we ever saw and it was cool to see. We went from small Heartless like the Shadows and the Soldiers to this huge thing that you can't really defeat by simply attacking from the front. Its front is so strong that you have to attack its back to hurt it. And I like how it isn't as easy to beat as the rest. It's just a great Heartless and a good one for early on in the game.
2. Neoshadows:

A more evolved version from a regular Shadow Heartless, this is a super, super strong Heartless that comes in later on. And I mean around the end. It's really fast too and it does a lot of damage to you, especially when there's a ton of them at once. But, if you are in the middle of a battle with a lot of them, it makes it all the more satisfying when you finally do manage to defeat them all, especially when they give you a huge level up boost. I also love how if you use the Trinity attack on them, and it destroys them all, they can, not only give you a lot of experience, but also health and money too. If you do manage to destroy them all like that, it is so satisfying.
And my number 1 favourite Heartless is... Invisibles:

And finally at number 1 is Invisibles. Remember earlier I said that there was another Heartless like the Pirate that had a sword? This is it. This Heartless is so, so, so awesome. For one thing, it looks like a big dark demon winged creature, and it's attacks are great. It can swing with the sword, make a ring of power around you that you can avoid at the last second by jumping and it can have its sword fly around try to hit you. It's also in your weight class, which is really satisfying and it gives you a fantastic amount of experience. I also love that it has a sword. An enemy like this with a sword is a really great thing to see. I really like those kinda things. And so, everyone, those are my top 10 favourite Heartless ever.
